no, and there are two major features of using LLM instead of search engines. 1. No prompt about decline/accepting cookies every time I want to look something up. 2. No ads. the res…

I repeatedly keep seeing praise for Ilyas achievements as a scientist and engineer, but until ChatGPT OpenAI was in the shadow of DeepMind, and to my knowledge (I might be wrong) h…

it is a shame they don't do physical print through

I think it is remarkable how important ABI is to C++. I think 'making it easier to enable them' i.e. enable the sane defaults went down the drain once they locked in on not breakin…

I have not found a better 'true' IDE experience than JetBrains. Once it has done it's thing, it works pretty good. If your projects are big like a C++ codebase +2mil LOC then well …

this makes me believe you never were in a quant shop, sorry. At least if your goal is making money. I think it can be a fun project to make an engine, and try to make models, toget…

Somewhat related: In 2020 gcc bumped the requirement for bootstrapping to be a C++11 compiler [0]. Would have been fun to see the kernel finally adopt C++14 as the author suggested…

I don't think this is true, but I don't know this for sure. From what I have read it seems that 'only' Bloomberg, Meta and Microsoft that uses c++ with exceptions. And since both m…

it is easy? It is the named constructor idiom. I don't understand why jupp0r is getting downvoted? Most big public c++ projects turn off exceptions, so it seems to be the norm more…

- Google will lose the 30% tax on their app store and so will Apple. - OpenAI is going dominate the AI-space (again). - Inflation will continue to go down, and we will see inflatio…

yes, LTO itself does not inline but from a user point of view it does, and that is exactly my point. If you are a beginner and you do not come from C, then you might not think abou…

One thing that would have helped me when I started learning C++ was learning the C++ compilation model i.e. translation units. It is surprising how many people look surprised (that…

I think one clear difference is that they are just so focused on shipping compared to the others, and they gain many of the benefits that comes with that. I think it is reflected i…

The premise is that exceptions should be zero cost to check, however it worries me when profiles like Tim Sweeney says that his code got 15% faster by turning off exceptions [1]. […

Okay, do you think the effort is worthwhile? Or do you think migrating to a language with a bigger runtime would have been a better choice? Because that is usually the conclusion I…

In my career the places I have been that uses C++ (with success) have all been using -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti. All major open-source C++ projects seem to do the same. Chromium…

compiling on mac is very easy/fluent experience for me. I guess OSX is still kinda first-class citizen for LLVM so maybe it does not count?

Still the aftermath leaves a bitter taste in my mouth about Sam and Greg joining MS. Regardless of whether the AI development in OpenAI was responsible, I think they succeeded in m…

What makes you think it is 'his' work and not theirs? I remember when OpenAI was just a joke compared to Deepmind. The turning point (as I remember) was when they used [1] deep rei…

we don't; and it shows :(

at least in HFT as I am aware, however I see that KF actually IS extensively used elsewhere.

edit: Extensively!! In control theory it seems :) It is just that I keep seeing KF be mentioned on Twitter and blogs etc. for using it in finance.

Often in textbooks and on here on HN Kalman Filters are praised, but folks from the industry often ridicule Kalman Filters. All People I have interacted with have never used/seen K…

Silly, but getting comfortable with vim macros. Not really wow, but makes me smile when I parse +100 lines in under 10s. Coworker might be impressed if you can pull it off on the s…

A bigger problem for me personally is the high cost of reducing developer productivity and increasing operational risk just for the sake of cyberponies trying to defend their job. …
